Explorer continually deleting thumbnails cache

If you would rather not personally work in the registry, @Brink has a tutorial with .bat files that will set those keys for you.

See: Prevent Windows 10 from Deleting Thumbnail Cache and go to step #3

You don't have your system specs filled out so watch which bittage of .bat file you need for your Operating System.

It would be very helpful if you could fill in your System Specs: System Specs - Fill in at Ten Forums

Hi,

Try clearing the thumbnail cache. Use these steps:

• Open File Explorer, and click This PC
• Select the system drive (usually, C:\)
• From the Manage tab at the top, click "Cleanup". (This launches Disk Cleanup for C:\ drive.)
• Enable the check box for "Thumbnails", and uncheck all other items in the list.
• Click OK
• When Disk Cleanup prompt you with the message "Are you sure you want to permanently delete these files?", click the "Delete Files" button.
• Restart Windows and let Windows regenerate fresh set of thumbnail cache as required.

Hope that helps.
